Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how zaherir appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
«Humillar y zaherir a las personas por el simple hecho de no creer en un dios, por su orientación y preferencias sexuales, por su color de piel o por su origen étnico es simplemente absurdo. Cada ser humano tiene la capacidad de pensar y tomar sus propias decisiones. Decirle a alguien qué es correcto o no no es válido ni se está haciendo una “buena acción”».
